SUMMARY:Material Muses: Medieval Devotional Culture and its Afterlives
DESCRIPTION:The Middle Ages is often thought of as a period of heightened religious devotion\, especially in the Catholic regions of Western Europe. Looking to the Joan of Arc Chapel at the heart of Marquette’s campus and pulling from the collections of the Haggerty Museum of Art and the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee\, Material Muses: Medieval Devotional Culture and its Afterlives considers how artists since the end of the Middle Ages have looked back toward art from this period as inspiration for creating “authentic” devotional objects into the present day. Material Muses explores the allure of medieval material religion as it converses with and energizes post-medieval religious narratives. \nMaterial Muses was curated by Abby R. Armstrong Check\, Claire Kilgore and Tania Kolarik\, PhD candidates in the Department of Art History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \nImage: Eduardo Paolozzi\, British\, 1924 – 2005\, Jesus Colour by Numbers\, 1970\, Photolithograph\, 15 x 10 inches\, 81.38.37.33\, Gift of Mr. Steven D.

SUMMARY:Affirmation/Transformation: Fandom Created
DESCRIPTION:Cheeseheads\, Swifties\, Beatlemaniacs\, Trekkies\, Whovians\, Potterheads\, Beyhive\, the Cenation\, ARMY. People are fans of all sorts of things. But what makes someone a fan? Is there a difference between enjoying something and being a fan of that thing? \nAffirmation/Transformation considers “creation” as the line between casual enjoyment and fandom. Fans are not passive; fans create. Using pieces from the Haggerty Museum of Art’s permanent collection\, Affirmation/Transformation looks at the types of things that fans are inspired to create and asks the viewer whether these fan creations are affirmational or transformational—that is\, do they affirm the fan object as it is\, or transform it into something new? Do fan creations uphold the canon of the original content\, or do they take only what they need and leave the rest behind? Is it possible that all fan creations hold both at the same time? \nThis exhibition serves as a foundational component for the dissertation of Kate Rose\, English Literature PhD Candidate at Marquette University. The pieces included in Affirmation/Transformation are available to online fan communities and fans are invited to use them as inspiration in their own affirmational or transformational works. Many of these works will be on display as a part of the exhibition on view at the Haggerty Museum of Art. Through the collection and display of these works\, as well as through future interviews with fan creators\, this dissertation questions the arbitrary boundary that academics have created between affirmational and transformational fandom and compares academic treatment of fan activities against the ways that these same activities are treated in fan communities. \nFor more information\, or to participate in the Affirmation/Transformation Fandom Event\, please visit https://epublications.marquette.edu/fandom/Affirmationtransformation/ \nImage: Mark Heresy\, American\, b. 1965\, Will to Power\, 1992\, Ink on paper\, 28 x 22 inches\, 2000.11.5\, Gift of Peter Norton\, Collection of the Haggerty Museum of Art\, Marquette University
